Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley
Lack a designated driver? Think limousine tours are for tourists? Biking and wining a precarious pair? The Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley might be just what you’re looking for. Built from the blueprints of an 1890’s San Francisco cable car, the trolley safely trundles wine enthusiasts on a six-hour ride through Sonoma Valley. The journey begins at Sonoma Plaza and then makes a handful of stops at local wineries for private tasting experiences. Included in the package is a guide, a picnic lunch from wildly popular the girl & the fig, views of the bucolic wine country landscape, and plenty of wine — and bottled water.
